16| Second Day (Emma)
Last Updated:
2021-04-12 01:38:08I wouldn’t call my first day a success, I was fired and rehired, thrown into a cab, and then kissed against a wall by my boss who then disappeared for the rest of the day. I met another designer in the building, though, David, and had lunch with him, which was very pleasant, but otherwise, the rest of the day was uneventful.
I was sitting at my desk waiting for Matthew to show up for me to ask him about the fundraiser and how I could help. I was wearing a red blouse today and a new skirt that I went out and bought last night, along with some more comfortable heels to last me a full workday – assuming that I don’t get fired today.
My hair was back in a bun, I swallowed my pride this morning and decided that I did enough damage yesterday, I should try to be good today. Besides, I also have a lunch date with David today, and I want to look my best.
However much I hated to admit it, Matthew was right about it being a clean and professional look. I
H. WARDRatings and reviews are greatly appreciated<3 I would love to hear your thoughts on the story between Matthew and Emma so far:) AND what do you think about David? How do you think that's going to go? -H. WARD

The Fashion CEO 17| Second Day (Matthew)
I worried momentarily when Emma said that Isabella called and left no message for me, so I called her back as soon as I got to my desk.*Ring Ring Ring*“Hello?”“Iz, you called?”Her voice raised an octave, “Yeah! I was so excited about these accessories for the fundraiser that I wanted to tell you all about them!”I put my hand on my face, “Iz, you worried me.”“Oh… I’m sorry,” her voice was back to usual now. “By the way, your assistant sounded bored and I think you should give her something to do.”“No, Iz, she was a pain in the ass yesterday and now she’s paying for it. There’s nothing worse for a designer than to be stuck in a place with no inspiration or…joy in any way, so in some sort of sense… she’s grounded.”“She’s grounded?”“Yep.”“You can

David didn’t tell me his plans for our date, and I was surprised when he opened the door for me to a cooking class. I’ve always heard about dates like this but I’ve never been on one before, and while I was hungry and slightly hoping for a restaurant where I didn’t have to cook my own food, the thought was adorable and I had the widest smile on my face.When you first walk in, you notice the massive kitchen in the back with a blinding amount of stainless steel appliances, and in front of it are roughly ten tables for the students to sit down at once they finished preparing their meal.“We’re really doing this?” I asked through my smile as I looked back at him.He was shedding his suit jacket and rolling up his sleeves when he responded, “I wanted to show you that I’m more than just fashion,” he smiled and I saw his dimples and just melted.I chuckled and looked at the massive kitchen in front of

My dinner with Amy, David’s assistant, was barely tolerable. The girl was as dumb as a stump, there were few things that she was good for, one was answering the phone, two was looking pretty, even if she wore too much makeup, and the third we were about to find out if she was any good in the sheets.She told me about her poetry during dinner and we shared a bottle of wine that seemed to loosen her up, and when Amy’s loosened up, she’s probably the easiest hookup I’ve ever had – and that’s saying something.We were in the cab heading to my place when she mumbled into my ear, “Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m coming home with you,” and giggled. I was going to need a couple more drinks before I go through with this tonight.The cab pulled up to the apartment building and I paid him what I owed before grabbing hold of Amy’s hand and showing her towards the elevators. When we got into the elevators, ther

The tangled bin of thread was a disaster and I was so mad with Matthew for doing that to me. I didn’t stress it, though, I decided to use my head to solve the problem and I took a pair of scissors and cut the thread right where it was at the spool, leaving one giant, colorful, tangled mess in my trash bin under my desk.I knew that Matthew would be mad at me for taking the easy way out, he was trying to make my life hell because I went out with his rival. It was only my second day working for him, how was I supposed to know that they were practically enemies?There is such a thing as friendliness in the industry, and I think that it’s time for Matthew to learn how to be civil with people; how to not call women whores, and to respect other designers.“This is cheating,” he sneered.“No, that is clever - Thinking with your head,” I pointed to my temple, just to make sure he knew which head I was talking about usi

The past couple of weeks have been so much fun messing with Emma, I’ve never had so much fun with an assistant before. After my date with David’s assistant, the next day, he paid a visit to my office and created quite a scene.[FLASHBACK]I was at my desk on my laptop replying to some emails when I saw a large figure in the hallway approaching my way.“This is gonna be good,” I mumbled to myself singsongingly as I pushed the button on my office phone to alert security before David got to the door.I heard Emma say his name in question but he didn’t respond to her before he barged into my office, “Amy? Really? You went after Amy?” I could see every person from the office looking at us from the hallway now, Emma had a horrified look on her face.I smiled at David, “She’s fun, right?” I scrunched my nose playfully and went back to my emails.“You son of a bitch, she’s my co

I had no idea why he was in such a perky mood today, but I was sleep-deprived and in no mood to take any of his shit today. When he brought me into his office and told me to strip I was about ready to kick him where it would hurt the most, but then he pointed me to a changing screen and I found a beautiful dress there to change into.I did a quick check for any camera’s around the place before I undressed and found none, and the screen was enough that he couldn’t peek through in an attempt to see me naked, which made me feel more comfortable.The gown on the hanger was gorgeous, I had never seen something like this before, and I was eager to try it on, curious who would end up wearing it, who had curves like mine.I took a moment after I had changed and pulled the zipper up to look down and admire the material and overall shape of the gown, it was the prettiest thing I think I had ever worn before.“How’s it going back there?

I couldn’t tell her that the dress was for her, it would scare her off if I told her that she was my muse and that I can’t get her out of my head. She would run for the hills and I wasn’t ready to lose her yet, so I kept my answer short and simple, and as honest as possible.I wasn’t sure how I was going to ever tell her that the dress was hers, and I didn’t have much time to decide because the fundraiser is only a couple of weeks away now, but I wanted it to be a nice surprise.I looked at her from head to toe, she was breathtaking, but there was one thing that was different from my dream. I took a step closer to try to loosen some hair to fall on either side of her face so that she looks almost exactly like my dream, but I heard her heart skip a beat and her breath hitch when I got close to her.She was getting nervous, and I was feeling tempted. My hand was reaching for the top of her head but stopped at her cheek where my knuckl

The time spent with Matthew in the office for the fitting when I was acting like the model for the gown was so surreal. He was a whole other person; he was down to earth, kind, and he is kind of genius when he’s in the zone. I hope I get to see that side of him more, I really enjoyed it.The rest of the day went smoothly, and for once I went home without the unbelievable urge to shower. It was pleasant, and I wondered if it would last.The next morning, I got up and showered, and while I was blow-drying my hair, I was catching up on my emails. There was one email that came in that caught my attention, it was sent late last night, from Matthew to all of his employees, the subject line said: NEW DRESS CODEI opened it immediately and put down the blow-dryer to read it closely.“As of tomorrow, all Greene Design employees are given the freedom to dress however they so choose on a day-to-day basis in the office, so long as employee keeps the look

The Fashion CEO 85| Goodnight (Matthew)
Fast forward 5 years “Matthew!” My beautiful wife called out. I followed the sound of her voice and questioned from the doorway, “Yes, dear?” Emma let out an exasperated sigh as she held her growing belly, “Where is our daughter? She disappeared on me.” She was fixing her makeup and steadying her nerves at a pop-up vanity that Isabella had brought by for her. “I think she may have run off with Isaac again, I’ll go look for her,” I turned away and began walking around the shop calling for her, “Stephanie!” Today is the grand opening for Claudette Reed, Emma’s own store. Being the wife of a successful fashion CEO has some perks, and one of them is getting your name out there and having a lot of people to support you. Our daughter, Stephanie, was now four years old and the most mischievous little thing – she definitely takes after me, she even has my bright green eyes. Steph and Isaac were the best of friends, and she called Isabe
The Fashion CEO 84| Isaac (Emma)
After the attempted scandal by NYFJ was taken down by Matthew’s brother, Ben, and his amazing hacking skills, life went back to normal for us. Matthew and I were dating, we were happy, Trish was his full-time assistant, and he even comes by to help me with Emile sometimes on his lunch break when I’m babysitting.Months passed, and one night, while Matthew and I were in a cab heading to a date he had planned, Matthew got a call from Isabella, telling him that she had had her baby. Being the baby's godparents, we hurried to the hospital as soon as possible and found her in a hospital bed with a small bundle swaddled in blankets in her arms, along with her parents on either side of her.Isabella smiled as she saw us enter the room and motioned for us to join her. Her parents made room, and Matthew went to one side of the bed and I went to the other, both of us looking down at the swaddled baby she held.“This is Isaac,” she introduced her ba
The Fashion CEO 83| What Ben Can Do (Matthew)
I woke up saddened that Emma didn’t stay over but feeling better after all that went down yesterday with Eli. I still didn’t know how I was going to get rid of these rumors about me cheating. Even if Emma believed me that it wasn’t true, that didn’t mean she was going to like seeing it on the front page of every magazine. I groaned as I rolled out of bed, hissing in pain as my bruises came alive. I felt my face and looked down at my naked torso, seeing a few bruises scattered, I smiled as I remembered last night when I told Emma I had “Booboo’s that needed kisses.” God, I’m pathetic, but it worked. I headed downstairs to find Ben and thank him for letting me stay over. I found him in the dining room, sipping on some coffee with the newspaper in hand, leaning back in his chair. “Morning, dad,” I mocked and he gave me a quick glare. I chuckled, “What? Isn’t this the sight kids come down to in the morning? Dad at the table with the paper and coffee?”
The Fashion CEO 82| Kay and Ben (Emma)
Matthew’s mom and I got along really well, and I look up to her now that I saw how she raised her boys when how they respected her. She mentioned Matthew getting mocked for having a busted face after a rumor spread of him cheating, so he went home with Ben and decided to hang out there for the next week or so for his bruises and cuts to heal. He had asked me to go to his apartment and get him some clothes and things he needed since he would be working from Ben’s home, he also asked me to bring Kay along with me, which I thought was odd, but I realized as soon as we got there why he asked for her to come. Ben answered the door of his house and his eyes went right to Kay, staring at her with a twinkle in his eye and a small smile forming on his lips. It was adorable, really, and looking over at Kay, I could see her blushing and smiling right back. Ben looks remarkably similar to Matthew, and I know Kay is fond of looking at Matthew, but it never dawned on me th
The Fashion CEO 81| Mama Greene (Matthew)
I had been glancing around for Emma but couldn’t find her anywhere and began to fear that she had left. My mother is my rock and the one person I truly admire and respect, other than Emma, of course, but my mother has my utmost respect and she deserved my attention at the moment. She took a step closer to me and said, “You’re the most honest person I know, Matty, and I’m proud of you for it. Now tell me, did you cheat on this mystery woman?” “No, I did not.” I noticed her slightly lift her chin before she asked, “Do you love her?” “More than anything.” She seemed pleased with my quick answers and stepped closer to cup my face, “My honest, loving boy. You need to fix this,” I nodded my head silently to her. She turned to Eli and did the same, saying, “My strong, courageous boy. You need to support your brother, not bring him down. I understand sibling rivalry, but trying to steal your brother’s girlfriend? Not okay. Do you understand?”

I gulped as I read the headline and stared at Eli’s cellphone, seeing the photographs underneath the headline. The first one was of Matthew and I on our first date walking on the sidewalk with our hands together, the one next to it was the photo of Matthew and Charlotte on the couch at the soirée – the same photo that made me throw up the first time I saw it.This time feeling no different, along with the heat from the day, I had to excuse myself from the boys and run to get some fresh air on the other side of the bleachers. I couldn’t be around anyone right now, I was feeling humiliated. Did everyone see this? Were they secretly laughing at me behind my back? My head was spinning.I pulled out my own phone and looked it up, reading the article, it said: “This reporter learns that Matthew Greene, CEO of Greene Designs paid off the photographer of the scandalous Charlotte Mercury photo by means of a sexual favor the very night it was taken
The Fashion CEO 79| Baseball (Matthew)
Emma stayed over and we made love all night until our bodies were exhausted. We were definitely making up for lost time and it was phenomenal finally being with her again. I was elated when she agreed to be my girlfriend again and come back to me. This time, I know we will be stronger than before because we both know how awful it was when we were apart.We were in the shower together when I told her about the plans for the day, “My brother invited me to play baseball with him. He’s practicing before the season starts and we always get together and have a little game with some friends,” the mention of my brother had Emma’s eyes widen for half a second but she hid it quickly.I knew that Emma and Eli had seen each other and danced in the club, I also know that she ran like hell when she realized who he was. The thought was both infuriating and amusing to me.If what Eli said was true, then there shouldn’t be any awkwardness between th
The Fashion CEO 78| Make Up Sex (Emma)
Matthew and I went straight to his apartment after we got back together and made out the whole ride there. We were making up for lost time together, and it was amazing - It was raw, passionate, loving, and much needed.The new stubble that he let grow out gave a new sensation when making out as it scratched against my face. It wasn’t painful, it was actually exciting having a new sensation there and brushing against my skin.Once inside, we began stripping our clothes off piece by piece. First came Matthew’s suit jacket, then I helped him with the buttons of his white shirt while he pulled up my shirt off of me, our lips only parting when necessary.We tried to make our way to the bedroom but failed and ended up on the large couch instead, Matthew hovered on top of me and let some of his body press against me, eventually grinding his hardening member on my leg, resulting in a tingling sensation in my core, begging me to give him entrance.I co

Inside a tall building in the heart of Manhattan, Natalie Freeman was hurrying to her aunt’s office to share with her the latest news that popped up on her phone. “Aunty Joyce, aunty, have you heard?” She pants as she hurries into the woman’s office. Joyce had her eyes glued to her computer as she responded to her niece, “I think everyone has heard, dear. The news is everywhere,” Joyce grabbed a remote and turned on her TV to one of the shows that talks all about celebrities and the hottest new gossip. Natalie and Joyce both looked at the TV on the wall as the reporter said, “The CEO of Greene Designs, a hot and upcoming fashion brand, who is known for his playboy lifestyle, has officially announced this morning that he is off the market and according to one anonymous source, completely in love with his new mystery woman!” The reporter continued, “The question that everyone is asking, is who is Matthew Greene’s mystery woman?” A second host wh
